Hi, I'm new here and I've never posted on a site before. I'm not sure what to say. I suffer with depression. I have for a long time. It comes and goes. I'm 59 years old, work as a nanny, and have 3 grown children. I hope to find support and maybe just someone to talk to on this site. Depression leaves you isolated from family and friends .

Thank you for replying. It helps to read that their are other people that suffer from the same feelings of depression. I really have not have anyone to talk to. My husband just gets angry and ignores me. My dad died last Christmas and since then my sisters don't speak to me. I lost a good friend this year when her husband died and she remarried and another friend hasn't talked to me since we went on a trip together. I seem to repel people. I always wonder, do we have no friends because we are depressed, or are we depressed because we have no friends? Anyway, hope you are doing well.

I know few lines that may help you..

if you can't be happy with yourself then you can only pretend to be happy with others, make yourself happy it's your duty to you.

i know it's easy to say but hard to implement, it's hard to be alone.i have been there, i can totally understand you, and you can always reach out to me if you want, always there. hope you will find peace.

Hello, I am in a similar situation but I do not work outside the home so at least I think that’s good for you. I probably have suffered with depression for a long time but it is been really bad in the last few years especially this last year my girlfriend signed me onto this site maybe it will help.
